Shop everywhere with ease.

Buying is free.

There is no cost for buying products or services, no need to share your financial information with sellers, and Purchase Protection safeguards your eligible purchases. What a deal.

Currency conversions.

When you buy from an overseas seller, currency conversion fees may apply. PayPal can coordinate this conversion for you. We use the prevailing wholesale exchange rate (the cost of foreign currency as denominated by an outside financial institution) plus a conversion service charge of 4.5 %.

Straightforward checkout.

PayPal will always provide information at checkout on transactions that include a currency conversion. We’ll always show you the exchange rate before you send a payment in a non-local currency.

Purchase Protection

If an item that you’ve purchased online with PayPal doesn’t arrive or doesn’t match the seller’s description, we'll look into it. If something is wrong, our Purchase Protection will reimburse you for the full purchase price plus shipping costs. You have 180 days, from the date of purchase, to file your claim.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to open a PayPal Business Account?

It's free to sign up for an account. PayPal merchant account fees only apply to transactions—which means you only start paying when you start selling. There are no set-up costs, monthly fees, or cancellations fees.

I've seen lower rates elsewhere. Why should I choose PayPal?

It's important to look at the TOTAL cost of processing credit cards. Other companies often publish discounted "show" rates, but you still get hit with cancellation charges, extra fees for accepting reward cards and corporate cards, and so on. We're upfront with you about all our fees.

Will my customers pay any fees?

It's free to pay with PayPal. There is a 4.5 % charge for any currency conversion. See our Consumer Fees Page.
